Overview

  • Cardi B set 'Am I The Drama?' for release on September 19, marking her first studio album since 2018’s Grammy-winning Invasion of Privacy.
  • The album’s tracklist incorporates her chart-toppers 'WAP' and 'Up', which she defended on X as fan favorites that “deserve a home” despite not counting toward first-week sales.
  • She dropped third single 'Outside' on June 20, framing the bass-heavy track as an outlet for personal anger and a fresh preview of her return.
  • A striking Instagram teaser video recounted “seven years of love, life and loss,” with Cardi vowing to “give them hell” after her long hiatus.
  • Her forthcoming project arrives against the backdrop of a July 2024 divorce filing from Offset and his subsequent legal bid for joint custody of their three children.
